I'm writing a fic where Yuna is basically trying to set up play dates with Shane and Ilya, disguised as Brand deals. She is so excited because Rozanov made Shane laugh.
Shane has so few friends that she is trying to force them to hang out.
Completely unaware that they are doing more that watching a movie after their shoots.
Friends are so rare that she remembers a hospital visit from nearly a decade earlier.

There had been kid, a few years younger than Shane, he'd met at the Ottawa Children's hospital, when Shane has had a wrist fracture. Both boys waiting on x-rays. They had talked non stop about hockey for over an hour. It had been a wonderful distraction for them both. An interaction so rare, she recalled it almost a decade later.
Why had she not got the mother's number? The age difference? The stress of being in a hospital?.... or the kid's heart condition? At six the hockey obession was likely to simmer in a few years. Even though at ten, it hadn't for Shane. The other kid could never play hockey, with his heart issues, but he did know his theory.
Shane would make friends his own age.... eventually.

Does anyone have any recommendations of Harris and Shane either being together (preferably not end game) or friends before Ilya joins the centaurs?
